Baking is one of the oldest cooking methods, dating back to the ancient Egyptians who baked flatbreads on hot stones. They also invented the first ovens and used yeast as a raising agent. Eggs are a leavening agent that contribute to the structure of baked goods. The yolks add fat and act as an emulsifier for a smooth and even texture. The most common type of baking is oven baking, which uses an oven to trap heat around the dough or batter. Steam baking is another common technique, which uses a small amount of water in a tight-fitting lid and pan to steam the baked goods. Baked goods are foods made by baking, such as bread, cakes, pastries, pies, tarts, and cookies. A bakery is a business that produces and sells baked goods. Some bakeries also serve coffee and tea in a cafe setting.
